Malkhut’s Youth Institute for Spirituality and Action prepares our community’s children for walking the walk of social justice and positive change in our world. As part of our two year Olim BMitzvah program, our students begin their social justice journey by embarking on personal Mitzvah Projects. Each student focuses on a topic that is meaningful to them, and they will spend this year and next working to make a difference. 

 

You can help! Learn more about what some of our Olim students are up to and how YOU can support tikkun olam (repairing the world).
